  • What types of patients can you help?
    We can help individuals with most neuromusculoskeletal problems, acute or chronic injury and provide supportive/maintenance care to those who are looking to progress in their lives. If you or your loved ones need our care, we are here to give you the support you need to reach your goals!
  • What is a myofascial release or soft tissue mobilization?
    We use cutting edge soft tissue techniques (sports massage, myofascial release technique, etc.) to properly restore muscle and nerve function, commonly used after acute or chronic injuries, surgeries or otherwise. Benefits of soft tissue work include: ​ -Control swelling and inflammation -Reduce effects of improper scar formation -Avoids other muscular compensations ​ Just like joint manipulation, soft tissue treatment is graded and tailored to individual's needs and tolerance.
  • What type of active rehabilitation approach do you use?
    Our approach to active rehabilitation is based on research derived from developmental kinesiology known as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) as well as exercises derived from Dr. Stuart McGill's research. These approaches are highly researched and have tremendous efficacy in rehab of injury and movement dysfunction. A little background to why chronic injuries occur: Our human development is most critical during the first two years of life. During this time we learn to integrate our body with our nervous system and then fine-tune it based on our activities. That perfect synchronization of all three allows us to move efficiently and precisely. However, during later years, injuries, illness and sedentary lifestyle force our bodies to deviate from our naturally programmed motor patterns (basic programmed movement) that we innately learned. This leads to further dysfunction. Our goal is to coordinate the body with the nervous system and help it remember its optimal motor activation and coordination. The ultimate goal of our treatment is to teach you to apply good movement patterns to your daily activities, be it your job, your workout, you spending time with your family, performing a sport or simply enjoying the ability to move without the possibility of injury.
  • What is a joint mobilization or joint manipulation?
    When needed, we utilize gentle joint manipulation or "adjustment" techniques to the spine or other areas in the body in order to restore joint function. Due to our daily demands, some areas of our body become stiff and require manual work in order to restore its normal movement and function. This can also reduce pressure on spinal nerves and relieve symptoms in local and peripheral parts of the body. Patients often hear a "popping" or "cracking sound. Don't worry, the sound you hear is simply gas being released in the joint from negative pressure in the capsule during its motion. Depending on patient preference or type of injury, we may utilize a mobilization technique instead. Mobilization is a slow, gradual movement of the joint, which in most cases does not produce a "popping" or "cracking" sound.
  • How are you able to provide help to such a broad spectrum of individuals?
    With the use of this rehabilitation approach we are able to help children reach their milestones while in adults and athletes we can maximize capacity, prevent injury and increase performance. In some cases patients require a referral to other medical professionals if the diagnosis needs co-management or is outside of our scope of practice such as needing surgery, injections, other interventions).
  • Does a chiropractor only treat neck and back problems?
    No. We treat many musculoskeletal injuries that include ankles, knee, hip, elbow, wrist, finger, low back, mid back, neck, head, etc. When working with you, we will always focus on looking at the entire body and movement of your daily activities. Based on the information we get from your evaluation, we prioritize treating the actual problem (can presents away from the site of pain) while managing the symptoms.
  • Am I a candidate for chiropractic services?
    Statistics show that chiropractic services are highly beneficial for as many as 80% of individuals. However, if your problem or injury requires additional services outside of chiropractic scope, we will gladly refer and co-manage your case with our trusted team of healthcare specialist.
  • Are there instances when you can provide your services at my home or office?
    Yes! Some patients choose to have services provided in the privacy of their own home or gym, in which case we are able to bring our services to you. **Please contact info@onaxishealth.com or call 435.602.9848 to make an appointment or to receive a free consultation.
